I read a book many years ago about Paradigm shifts. The
author was talking about Scientific Revolutions and had concluded that based on
the history, no matter how much evidence there was to support a particular
theory, if the scientific community wasn’t ready to accept it then it wasn't
accepted. In fact, a whole generation of scientist usually had to die off
before the new idea could flourish. What kind of new ideas?
How about Copernicus’ radical idea that the earth moved
around the sun, when it looked to anyone with eyes that the sun was moving. It
was proved later with the technology of the rudimentary telescope that the
earth was, indeed, moving but many scientist in Copernicus day, fearing
persecution by the powerful Catholic church, refused to support the evidence.
Or how about Ignaz Semmelweis, a 19th century
physician who had a ludicrous suggestion that physicians should wash their hands before
attending to the mother’s in the maternity ward. He collected data showing that
when physicians visited the mothers after coming from the morgue more mothers
died. It was decades before the
germ theory proved him right. However, many deaths occurred in the meantime.
So, it will seem strange to you that there are people in
this country who only eat raw food. That’s all. Nothing exposed to heat higher
than that of a light bulb…104℉. The diet is made up
primarily of nuts, seeds, fruit and raw vegetables. However, I caution you, not
to judge these people to harshly but instead look at the evidence… Here’s a
link below.
This is the week we begin to prepare for fasting. It is also
our week to prepare for our own paradigm shifts. Fittingly the verse for this week is
“Blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the earth.” (KJV)
Or the Aramaic Translation that I will be using-
“Healthy are those who have
softened what is rigid within; they shall receive physical vigor and strength
from the universe.
